Although the weather has been pretty crummy the past few weeks (hot/humid/sticky/muggy/totally unbearable), I've decided to horde my pennies and start walking to campus more often. It's a short walk (Two avenues + 14 blocks) and takes about 20 minutes. Plus, I walk through Hell's Kitchen, which is a total delight early in the morning. Most restaurants are preparing for the day's guests and many of the bakerys and grocers are setting up their products.
More recently, I've come to sincerely appreciate the Hell's Kitchen Market, located on 9th Ave between 56th and 57th street. Basically, it's a series of six to eight tents offering up slices of heavenly bliss - fresh fruit, produce, and baked goods. Just walking by and inhaling the aroma of home-grown, heart-felt confections lifts me above the humidity.
speaking of food... i am reading a book called "the sharper the knife the less you cry" it's a true story of a woman who quits her job and goes to paris for cooking school! i think you would love it:)
